Arts on UB's North Campus.

North Campus: Suburban Academic Center

UB’s North Campus, where most of the university’s
core academic programs are offered, is located in suburban Amherst.
Opened in the early 1970s, it is the largest of our three campuses.
Its 125 buildings include state-of-the-art academic and research
spaces, student residence halls and apartments, the Student Union,
athletic venues and administrative offices. Complementing the
built environment are abundant green spaces, Lake LaSalle and
Letchworth Woods.

South Campus: Classic Neighborhood Setting

UB’s South Campus on Main Street is a Western New York
landmark dating back to the 1920s. Located in a residential
neighborhood in North Buffalo, it is home to classic ivy-covered
buildings, as well as residence halls and cutting-edge research and
teaching facilities. The schools of Architecture and Planning,
Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Dental Medicine, Public Health
and Health Professions, and Nursing are on the South
Campus.

Downtown Campus.

Downtown Campus: Growing Urban Presence

UB is creating a state-of-the-art center for teaching,
research and clinical care in downtown Buffalo, sparking a
revitalization of New York State’s second-largest city.

With funding from the Governor’s NYSUNY 2020 Challenge
Grant program and other sources, including private philanthropy, UB
plans to relocate its School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in
downtown Buffalo. The move will align UB medical education,
research, and clinical care more effectively with regional
hospitals and research partners.

Most of our Downtown Campus buildings are located on or
near the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. They include the New York
State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics and Life Sciences and
the 10-story Clinical and Translational Research Center
(CTRC)—built in partnership with Kaleida Health, the
region’s largest hospital network—which also houses a
UB Biosciences Incubator. In addition, UB built a new home for its
Educational Opportunity Center, connected to the UB Downtown
Gateway building, which houses university outreach programs. |
